FILE - In this March 4, 2016 file photo, Okinawa Gov. Takeshi Onaga is surrounded by reporters after a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the latter's official residence in Tokyo.

Demanding an unconditional land return, Okinawa Gov. Onaga skipped Thursday’s ceremony and joined a protest. (Kimimasa Mayama/Pool Photo via AP, File)
